No, actually that was very helpful. I may still tweezer the worms, but the little Y-tail on one fell off, and the fish only has two (visible), so I haven't yet. All the carbon is removed and I'm happy to stick with it for the three weeks it says it will take on the label.
My understanding is that if the Y tail was present and now is not, the eggs have fallen into the aquarium or hatched...something along those lines.

You're right. It wasn't.It's actually not that bad
I decided that I probably wasn't going to hurt the fish, so I just did it. It was kind of awkward because I didn't have a net the right size, but the fish seems fine.
I'm still treating the tank for the eggs, and I think I might have missed one little worm, if it is one. I can't really tell. It's much smaller than the others.

Good job!
Well, if they come back (and they probably will), just pull 'em off again. If you pull them off quickly you greatly reduce the number of eggs released into the water column. This next time they come back will probably be the last now that you're prepared to deal with them right away.
